Buying a Butler
Next weekend I'm going to be looking at a used Butler.
It is a '65 style, but I don't know the production date.
It sports a 302 that (supposedly) puts out 425 HP.
The headers are heat wrapped, holley carb, Shelby manifold, etc.
This car has the MGB front end and Jag rear end.
Can you veterans give me some ideas of what to look for and look out for.
This is my first time dealing with custom built Replica.
I own an older VW/Dunebuggy but that seems world away from a truly custom fabricated car.
Things already on my list:
Heat build up in the footwell
Braking
Ride (how does it handle a rough road - is it an oxcart?)
Footroom in the footwell
I know these are newbie questions but hey you've got to start somewhere.
Any insights will be appreciated.
